I write based on input from those who are experienced (and crucially have shown no sign of a political agenda).

And I trust other readers to be able to look up your previous posts - in which you have repeatedly shown an opinion that you feel decoupled sidesticks are a bad thing.

What is more sensible and necessary, is to openly discuss what the sidestick Airbus concept has suppressed.

You are using here the right term : We get used to be deprived of a valuable source of data … How is it better ?


That I like it or not does not really matter, that the sidesticks as implemented by Airbus deprive a multicrew from 'very nice to know' information is a fact...
Along with statements like:

Which imply that the majority of pilots were against the sidestick concept (untrue) and also imply that pilots were not involved in the specification of the Airbus FBW flight deck and logical design (also untrue - almost insultingly so).

All of which are in the first page of search results, and all of which are based on nothing more than your own opinion.
